They had a booth, showing footage my wife and I shot on a feature using their system. Also, Optitek is selling the new Birger Mount for Epic/Scarlet and perhaps other cameras.
If you're after an electronic adapter to mount Canon EF lenses, MTF here in the UK have one:

I saw it at a show recently - great quality. Price (£645) looks very reasonable too.

I talked with Erik at NAB, he said the Sony F3 is first followed by the M4/3 this summer.
the MetaBones looks promising.

Yes, but it worked flawlessly over many weeks of high-pressure shooting and all kinds of weather, etc. It's an amazing system, and Jeck's mount si primo quality in terms of build, precision and finish.
Antenna range is unreal. Ask Jacek at Optitek what he has - he may have moved forward with "beyond prototype" controllers. The guts inside Jacek's mount are Birger tech. Birger is really solid tech, Its' what they used to control lenses on the Red Bull Stratos flight. As far as I know MTF does not control focus - which does not help you much with SLR lens problems.
